Samhain Eve

I just finished cleaning
and decorating my altar and I am listening to Blackmore's Night and getting ready to bake some pumpkin
bread. I need to clean the litter box and vacuum my floor, too.

Later I
will be communing with Cayenne, my soul cat Eileen who died nine years
ago, and perhaps my grandparents and a few departed friends. Or whoever
else chooses to show up.

I am also going to decorate the urn Eileen
and Cayenne share. Last Samhain, I put Cayenne's ashes in the urn with Eileen's. It is a plain wooden box and I have wanted to do something to decorate it for a long time but wasn't sure what. And I guess just wasn't ready to do it. Now I am.
